This paper presents a bi-objective MIP model for the flexible flow shop scheduling  problem (FFSP) in which the total weighted tardiness and the energy consumption are minimized simultaneously. In addition to considering unrelated machines at each stage, the set-up times are supposed to be sequence- and machine-dependent, and it is assumed that jobs have different release tim...

The gaining returns in line with risks is always a major concern for market play-ers. This study compared the selection of stock portfolios based on the strategy of buying and retaining winning stocks and the purchase strategy based on the level of investment risks. In this study, the two-step optimization algorithms NSGA-II and SPEA-II were used to optimize the stock portfolios. In order to de...

Multiobjective Pareto optimal solutions for epoxy semi-batch polymerization process are obtained by adapting nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA II). The objective is to produce polymer of maximum possible number average molecular weight (Mn) with a specified value of polydispersity index (PDI) and number average molecular weight in minimum possible time. The M and reaction time a p...

Reglero. This work will never be produced without kindly help and assistance of professors Francisco Herrera and Antonio Gonzáles. And I am gratefull to Rocio Romero for providing me NSGA II description.

Wind farm layout optimisation has become a very challenging and widespread problem in recent years. In many publications, the main goal is to achieve maximum power output minimum wind cost. This may be accomplished by applying single or multi-objective techniques. this paper, we apply objective hill-climbing algorithm (HCA) three evolutionary algorithms (NSGA-II, SPEA2 PESA-II) well-known bench...

many real water resources optimization problems involve conflicting objectives. in this study, multiobjective genetic algorithm nsga-ii, has been developed for optimization the conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater resources and optimal management of supply and demand of agricultural water. here, optimal allocation of land and water resources to the dominant products in najaf abad pl...
